Description

Believe us, we've seen our fair share of misrepresented 'compression' pieces. However, if you never saw a real example of compression, like the CEP Dynamic+ Women's Cycle Shorts, you would never know that 'compression' is more than just a word. Instead, these shorts actually feature graduated, medical-grade compression that will stabilize your muscles and joints, improve your blood circulation, and increase your stamina. Sound too good to be true? Read ahead.

And on the subject of fatigue, we'll jump into the main draw of the Dynamic+ shorts, their compressive qualities. You hear the term 'compression' thrown out there often. However, its true meaning, especially for race-day applications, is typically shrouded in ubiquity. So, forget what you've heard about lactic acid suppression, and enter into the world of enhanced blood circulation. Without getting too scientific, CEP designed the Dynamic+ shorts to have different strengths of compression in accordance to a position's distance from the heart. This is also known as graduated compression. So, the further from the heart, the stronger the fabric compression, and the closer to the heart, the lower the compression. Basically, this design places a pressure on the veins and arteries that forces the circulatory system to work faster. Accordingly, your muscles receive more oxygen, and thus muscle fatigue is thoroughly reduced. Meanwhile, power outputs and thresholds are increased.

Not surprisingly, while the aforementioned attributes would be enough for most to call it a day, CEP was just getting started. For the actual fit of the Dynamic+ shorts, CEP approached the cut with an anatomic, multi-paneled, and contoured designed. This means that the panels are meant to support specific muscle groups, while the shape perfectly conforms to the body throughout the various motions of a cycling. In fact, CEP claims that these shorts have been proven to reduce injuries ranging from pulled hamstrings, injured quads, and IT band issues.

And while, yes, the shorts feel quite tight at first, you'll quickly notice that they don't inhibit movement at all. This is due to the selective placement of two fabrics with different deniers and compositions. Additionally, the legs feature a seamless construction, while the few seams that actually do exist have been designed to lay flat. Furthering the comfort, CEP engineering its fabrics to be highly breathable, moisture managing, and UV protective, with a rating of 50+.

For the chamois, the Dynamic+ shorts feature CEP's Performance insert. Developed specifically for cycling, this chamois uses a variable density padding. This design provides a targeted level of support to key regions of the body, while tapering off where it isn't needed. As a result, the chamois efficiently moves with your body, not against it. This reduces the risk of abrasion, while also eliminating unwanted pressure on nerves like the pudendal.

The CEP Dynamic+ Women's Cycle Shorts are available in the color Black and in five sizes from I to V. Please note that these shorts are intended to fit tightly. However, they are true to size, so don't be afraid of the small leg opening when you pull them out of the bag.
